Closely following the release of their 28th studio album MAD!, Sparks recently announced that a follow-up EP, MADDER!, will be released on October 3 via Transgressive Records. Envisioned as a companion piece, this new collection of songs make up the Mael brothers' first-ever EP in their discography, which now spans over 50 years.

The duo also shared the EP's lead single, "Porcupine." Listen to it below:

On creating the MADDER! EP, the Mael brothers stated via press release, "Not wanting the Mad!ness to end and buoyed by the phenomenal reaction to MAD!, we made a hasty but intense retreat to the studio to record a Sparks first: an EP." The new collection of songs, they added, is intended "for everyone who isn’t yet MAD! enough."

Sparks are also set to begin their North American promotional tour for MAD! this coming weekend. Tickets are available now.
